Bush, Gore and real possibilities. Posted here Wednesday, February 11, 2004 at 3:55:34 PM     I ned to raise the question, as things seem to be falling apart, what do we seriously think would have happened if Gore had been President when 9/11 happened? I am not just talking about Gore's decent tendencies, but the reaction from the press and the republican side, if Gore had not used maximum force, even beyond anything Bush did? I think they would have moved to impeach. If this is right, then it means that the country was already essetially ungovernmable with a reasonable sane policy. This may explain abit why bush acted so stupidly - because ther really was not much of an alternative. Sure, I think that a multilateral police based targeted smart action approach would hev been much better, but woukld it have survived politically? ********
